It’s not often that Chennai Super Kings, the masters of loyalty and long-term planning, even consider trading their beloved Ravindra Jadeja. Yet, here we are, a rumor that could make even the calmest CSK fan spill their filter coffee. Sanju Samson to Chennai, Jadeja to Rajasthan, and Sam Curran somewhere in between sounds like a […]

Will the next key move of the Rajasthan Royals not be made by some young talent from Rajasthan but by an experienced English all-rounder with miles to go? There is talk of the RR trading Sanju Samson to CSK in exchange for Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja; it seems much like a movie plot than […]
Once, ODI bilateral series played second fiddle to the rest of the International Calendar; now, in our week-long run-up to the start of this week’s series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, they are an unspoken audition for spots in the 2027 Cricket World Cup. Both teams are clearly in an uncertain position when it comes […]
Every coach talks about “man management.” But for Gautam Gambhir, it’s less about management and more about emotional surgery, telling players like Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav they’re too good to play. Sounds cruel? Maybe. But in modern Indian cricket, where talent overflows and burnout lurks in every schedule, Gambhir’s honesty-first approach might just be […]
Every Ranji season offers a couple of hundreds, a gritty five-for, maybe a cameo to spice things up. But this week? This week felt like the domestic equivalent of a Marvel crossover event everyone suddenly developed superpowers. We’re talking Paras Dogra hitting his 34th first-class hundred (yes, he’s basically a secret national treasure now), Meghalaya’s […]
Indian Test cricket has never backed down from making its bold selections understood, but now and again the team comes across a problem so delicious as to seem positively unfair on the opposition.

Kiran Navgire, fresh off three hundreds in four domestic innings? Gone. Even players who […]
The majority of IPL player trades (or, as some may call them) are much the same as airport announcements; lots of noise, a little confusion, and most importantly, no real change in your flight plan. However, the trade that occurred today was much different than the rest. It seems like instead of simply pulling a […]
Each Ashes series commences with two aspects: first, Australian swagger, and second, English hope. However, this time around, England does not arrive with bombastic declarations nor Bazball bravado; rather, they have arrived quietly confident in their abilities. At the heart of this quiet confidence lies Mark Wood – the 34-year-old fast bowler who has returned […]
In cricket, some players take guard as if nothing can trouble them. Rishabh Pant, however, seems to attract trouble the way slips attract edges on the first morning in Durban. Against South Africa A in Bengaluru, the returning India A captain took three hits in one session: helmet, elbow, abdomen, all from Tshepo Moreki’s hostile […]
